Our department has a room with sofas and whiteboards called "The Interaction Area".

You should put up signs in other areas saying "This is a NO-INTERACTION area!"

NO INTERACTION BEYOND THIS POINT

(unless it is interaction between nerf darts and the foreheads of your co-workers)

lol grad school humour. I predict that will be gone from the door by the time I get in tomorrow morning, around 11am.

A++ on extracurricular activity!

I have gazed into the abyss

"Microsoft said that not only does it plan to build more cloud services for consumers, but that it also plans to expand its presence in Asia Pacific, so it should only make sense to register the name "Kumo" -- a word that dictionaries say could either mean "spider" or "cloud" in Japanese. This morning, a tracert on the domain name revealed that the route broaches the realm of Microsoft at about hop #18 -- MICROSOFT-C.car1.Seattle1.Level3.net -- before entering the msn.net domain for three hops, and thereafter disappearing into a foggy, cloudy abyss."

my favorite part is "this morning" as if someone does this over their morning coffee.

the entire door was removed and replaced over Christmas, although i don't think that was because of my poster but rather a Christmas miracle

Too busy working out with FAT GRIPZ?

should print out that poster and put it on my bedroom door tbh

esr piece is awesome. "everything i know about sitting in dark corners of restaurants i learnt from heinlein". a perfect insight into libertarian egocentric paranoia.

trying to find the one again where he states matter of factly that he is a world-historical change figure. and that he doesn't need to worry about iranian snipers killing him because muslims don't have the work ethic to make good marksmen.

world historical change figure coming right up:

on hacker humour and culture:

The people who write and maintain these jokes are expressing and reifying hacker values. This is especially important for us, because our avenues of cultural transmission are in some ways quite restricted.

restricted?! you and your kind BUILT THE FUCKING INTERNET!

Actually, all food is “organic”; the term just means “chemistry based on carbon chains”.

smart guy

misguided literal semantic nerd pedantry is the fucking worst.

'would you like orange juice or tea?'
'yes please'
'er...?'
'i would like orange juice or tea. 'orange juice or tea' is true whichever my preference is.'
'ok fuck off'

Occasionally, and generally only around people who would be familiar with Symbolic Logic 101, I reply to "would you like x or y" with "yes, tee hee" to play for time while I decide which; by the time they've said "ok wise guy" I can reply to that with "ha ha sorry I would like y please". Now I will resolve not to do so again.

That article is a beautiful and alarming new level of nutty.

I guess I have pretty geeky and impatient friends for them to find severely hackneyed nerd "humour" a more acceptable play for time than "um... I'm not sure", but apparently they do

"because our avenues of cultural transmission are in some ways quite restricted."
i haven't seen enough of 'big bang theory' to judge, but if it's as bad as what snippets I have seen, I sympathize with this POV.

Raymond refers to his current situation as "... living inside a cyberpunk novel. A libertarian cyberpunk novel."[22]

best thread title

i hate this thread title now btw

can someone explain why rich webapps are more brittle than simple html when I have poor connectivity? i understand whey they'd be slower, but not why, for example, I can't really get gmail to load at all right now on this tin-can-and-string connection, despite ilx loading just fine. something something XmlHttpRequest timeout?

Is there some actual self-consistent, generalizable model behind what you're saying that improves my ability to think about ethical obligations, correctly rejecting or accepting some of them, or were you just signaling there?
